He said the Central government has made it clear that the North East region would get top most priority, as ministers have been assigned to look into social and economic infrastructure development.
Briefing media persons here at Police House, Chumukedima on Tuesday, Rudy said he was assigned to be part of the International Yoga Day programme to be held at Agri Expo, 4th Mile, Dimapur from 8.30 a.m. organized by Skill Development & Entrepreneurship and Ayush.
All the union ministers have been assigned to different state capitals and important locations to take part in the IYD, which also coincides with the culmination of the events marking BJP led NDA’s three years in office, he added.
Highlighting major policies of the government, Rudy informed that the present government was absolutely focused on improving the lives of the down-trodden, under privileged, person with disabilities, unemployed, farmers etc.
He added that Central Government had launched almost 100 schemes across the country which had benefitted “the last man”.
On the programmes taken up by Skill ministry, Rudy disclosed that 22,000 fresh youths would be given training under the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana which is a 100 percent funded scheme covered by the Centre. He said the ministry was also in the process of setting up two ITI locations at Kiphire and Longleng which would be taken up once the state government provides land.
Answering to a question on the preparation of BJP for the state election in the state, Rudy said it has been a challenge but the growth graph across the country has proven since the party had formed government in 13 states and even in the municipal elections held across the country.
On being asked if the beef ban would in any way affect the image of the party, Rudy answered that people have to adhere to what the constitution says, he added, “We cannot control the taste brand of the individuals and we have to respect the faith and practices of each and every individual. We have to respect it and allow the rule of the land.”

I’m impressed, I have to admit. Genuinely rarely should i encounter a weblog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you may have hit the nail about the head. Your idea is outstanding; the problem is an element that insufficient persons are speaking intelligently about. I am delighted we came across this during my look for something with this.
